The bats weren't that great the game before, either, they just got bailed out by 3 HR's. I am starting to get worried.

I hope to someday see a complete list of the pitchers that have come through the organization since since our last division title, purely for the comedy of briefly recalling the catastrophes, flameouts, and crushed hopes and dreams.

It's not like Jake will have a bunch of really tough decisions to make about his brother. You think Joe will get pissed if he has to sit vs. a lefty every so often? Still, I think Doug M is my favorite candidate.

Jorge, Jorge, Jorge.

Wow, Dozier. Team leader? That was epic loafing. Looked like Manny Ramirez.

One of those situations where being a Twins fan and a weather nerd overlap.

https://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=MPX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes These guys have a legit 10 minutes before the deluge hits.

Rosario is at peak value right now. Granite will have a solid outfield spot soon, and it's not going to come at the expense of either Buxton or Kepler. They are going to have to package Rosario and probably somebody else in exchange for pitching.

Polanco's at-bat was pathetic. Buxton's was almost pathetic.

Gibson has awful body language. Like, Jay Cutler awful.

Absolutely

lol can't make this crap up sometimes

Do we have anybody in the bullpen who can reliably strike guys out?

Why do I feel like Twins are still underdogs to win this game?

Lol @ Kyle Gibson. Can we give up on him already? Bring up Berrios.

My optimism from the start of the season has quickly evaporated, with dismay and disgust left in its wake.

Sano. Sano. Sano. You have 2 strikes against you. What are the odds Bauer throws a slider out of the zone?

Kepler. What-in-the-fuuuuuu

I don't know if I agree with Bert. He keeps telling Gibson to be aggressive and trust his fastball... but his fastball isn't all that great. He even said "look at Salazar, being aggressive, that's how you want to be".... which is easier when you can hit 97.

But our whole outfield can't hit, it seems.

It's just really nice having Bux in center field. Like super nice.

It's batting practice... again. And again. And again. This is sickening.

Good job Duffey. You are really coming along.

"Mauer he participated in six. Mauer has won three career batting titles. No catcher had was a batting championship in about 55 years when Mauer did it the first time, and no American League catcher had ever done." I don't usually make fun of poor editing, but I thought this passage was radical. :-)

Are there any other promising young arms in the Twins minor league system that we can bring up to suck at the major league level?
